1st place,European XC Championships

Athlete: Lars Forster, BMC MTB Racing Team

Tyres used: #VittoriaMezcal

“The Mezcal is the absolute and most advanced tire. The knobs in the middle of the tire offer a great rolling performance and the soft sidewall give the perfect grip for fast curves. The most impressive is actually how strong this tire is despite its light weight. The tire has a good flexibility which provides both comfort and traction.” – Lars Forster

“It was raining a bit during night, but I was running the Mezcal 2.25 front and rear, with the air-liner in the back. Very satisfied with the setup, since I am using the Air-Liner I haven’t punctured.” – Gregor Raggl

1st place,German National XC Championships

Athlete: Elisabeth Brandau, EBE Racing Team

Tyres used: #VittoriaBarzo front, #VittoriaPeyote rear

“On this sandy, loose dirt race track, Barzo and Peyote gave me enough confidence in the downhills and superb grip on the uphills so that I was able to control my competitors and win the German Championships.” – Elisabeth Brandau

1st place, French National XC Championships

Athlete: Titouan Carod, BMC MTB Racing Team

Tyres used: #VittoriaMezcal

“It was only decided in the last lap. I started it in last position and had to work hard to get into a better position. Sarrou (a competitor) who was very strong flatted in the rock garden so I took advantage of it to take the lead.” – Titouan Carod

1st place, Italian National XCE Championships

Athlete: Mirko Tabacchi, CS Carabinieri cicli Olympia Vittoria

Tyres used: #VittoriaBarzo

1st place, Russian National XC Championships

1st place, European CX Championships

Athlete: Eddy Van IJzendoorn

Tyres used: #VittoriaTerrenoMix

"Thank you so much Vittoria! Amazing tyres!" - Eddy Van IJzendoorn

1st place, Canadian National CX Championships

Athlete: Michael Van den Ham

Tires used: #VittoriaTerrenoWet

“The course was muddy but, because of the frozen ground, hard packed underneath. I went for the Terreno Wet for the traction, and I think I had a big advantage over people with other mud tires because of its super-fast rolling profile and puncture resistance”. – Michael Van den Ham

1st place, UCI World Cup CX, Jingle Cross

Athlete: Kaitlin Keough, Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com

Tyres used: #VittoriaTerrenoWet

“The tires worked really well on the climbs. I had traction when I thought I wouldn’t. They just kept biting. Even on the downhills where it was super slippery, the tires hooked up. I ran 15/16psi and that seemed to work.” -Kaitie Keough

This list speaks for itself. The results and comments of the winners are the most genuine endorsement possible to the superior quality of Vittoria graphene tyres.
